deduce the principle that a body whollysubmerged in a liquid is buoyed up by a force exactly equalto the weight of its own volume of the liquid. 98 PHYSICS This is prettily illustrated by the apparatus representedin Fig. 55. The upper cylinder is hollow, the lower cylin-der solid, and has such a… … Pig. 55.—Principle of Archimedes. force lifts the left arm of the balance. The upper cylinderis then filled wi^h water, and this is found to restore thebalance, showing that the buoyant force upon the sub-merged cylinder is exactly equal to the weight of its ownvolume of water.
